Apply three applications at weekly intervals and then keep a close check for weevil damage. There is still considerable variation in infesta tions from field to field, and growers are urged to evaluate in festations in their own fields and treat as needed.

Both the straight oil and oil- emulsion has given very good sucker control-when properly ap plied and very little or no' dam age to the plants under favorable weather conditions; however, under damp, hot, humid weather conditions, soft rot may be a major problem.
